I have to agree with speedracer and hydro, group activities, clubs, social interaction, actual real physical face to face social interaction simply isn't done much these days. One of the main benefits to me of being an AMA member is being a part of my club and enjoying conversation and interaction with some of my fellow modelers along with short trips to nearby clubs and events and fly-ins to see the variety of different models people are flying. Oh I enjoy flying a small park flyer in an open space by myself but it isn't nearly as much fun as being part of a group of like minded enthusiasts. Someone with no desire for social interaction really does have very little reason for being a member of the AMA. It's kind of sad really.
